About this house rental

Situated in Bar Harbor, this attractive house for $221 per night is a great option for your next break. Glenwood Pond Cottage was rebuilt in 2017-18 by 30-year island residents. The cottage sits nestled in a pinewood forest off a private dirt road, located just 4.7 miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park. Perfectly situated centrally on Mount Desert Island, the house gives easy access to Acadia National Park, the popular tourist town of Bar Harbor (6 miles), and the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island, including the villages of Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor. With 3 upstairs bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms the house can easily accommodate up to 6 people. Oak hardwood floors, a large enclosed morning sun porch, new stainless steel appliances, and new mattresses ensure a comfortable stay. The house is privately located, with no other homes in sight and guests can enjoy a visit to Frenchman's Pond, just a short walk away, where Canadian geese nest annually, a beaver has made residence, and where frogs, turtles, deer, and songbirds make regular appearances.

Love the house, plenty of room very quiet and secluded area but yet close to everything. we came for our 30th wedding anniversary Oct 20-25th with our son and his wife. I recommend you hike in Arcadia, visit Jordan pond to have amazing popovers, hike to Bar Island when the tide is out, and do the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain. we even cooked live lobsters at the house, they have a very large pot for them and had propane to cook the out on the grill which has a side burner for the pot , it worked out perfectly. We would definitely stay here again.

This was a great house to stay in. It was clean and comfortable. It is a nice short scenic drive from Bar Harbor and Acadia which was convenient. We would stay here again if we plan another trip to Maine.

Home was as advertised. Super clean. Very quiet and private location close to Bar Harbor and Acadia entrance. Great gas stove and cookware. Minimum dinner and glassware so used dishwasher every night. Comfortable beds. Personal preference would be a better/softer pillow. The 3 bedrooms are upstairs. Master has a private bath, other 2 bedrooms share or use the 3rd bath downstairs. We would be happy to revisit during a future trip.

The house was very comfortable and inviting. The layout made it easy for everyone to gather and enjoy conversation, while also providing privacy when needed. The location was fabulous - about 15-20 minutes to either Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, Southwest Harbor or the many hiking trails in Acadia National Park. Even though it was centrally situated on Mount Desert Island, it was very secluded and private. The house was very clean and was wonderfully stocked with the essential kitchen necessities. We would definitely stay there again - we all had a wonderful time!

We were very pleased with this property. We especially enjoyed sitting on the porch, both in the morning and the evening, enjoying the solitude of the location. After a day of hiking and then often going into Bar Harbor to eat, it was such a blessing to go out to our place in the woods for the night. We had two couples staying together, and both couples said they would love to come back sometime and stay here again.
